I Said Fall

I Said Fall

A Poem by Val Val
"

One I found in my google docs. I don't know why I didn't post it. I was kind of obsessed with new school/old school for a while but I think this one works.

I’m so f*****g old school,
I’m new school and I fall into
Traps of falling in love with delusions of grandeur
But I’m not little. I am the beat behind you,

The small pressure at your back, I bob
My head to the beat, baby.
Doesn’t matter that the closest
I ever get to cool is a Cosby sweater.
Yesterday the world woke up small,
I waited it out. I am nothing if not a
Lover of anticipation. Graceless but
Tactful, skip over, skip over, skip over,
The painful things. There are better
Memories to spin through. I gather
Words and numbers close to me,
Right the wrong angles, brace for
Wind, and gulp down the last
Pangs of guilt. I don’t walk that way
Anymore, my hands haven’t been out
For years. Yes, I’ve still got the jeans,
The f**k-you-jackass, my mother’s
Eyes but, Jesus, you’d be surprised
Who doesn’t recognize me. The
Double take. And at the end of the
Day, when it’s just the mirror and me,
I must admit that the differences are
Clear. I’m so f*****g old school,
I’m new school and I fall.
